Broken HEART, BODY, MIND, SPIRIT, & SOUL

Has your heart been broken? Has something terrible happened-or not happened-that feels like it has shattered your life in a million pieces?
If so, you are not alone. Jesus' heart was also broken. He was battered, betrayed, abandoned, and rejected, but He emerged victorious. That's good news for us, because it means we can emerge victorious when our heart has been broken too! This wound will be high maintenance, I fear, and take a while to heal. It's so vulnerable, an area of the body that's so active and important for everyday life. We're all doing what we can-short of wrapping it in bubble wrap-to steer clear of it.
It can be really hard to protect a wound from further damage from outside influences. That got me thinking about other kinds of wounds.Deep wounds that are just as vulnerable to daily life but aren't front and center for all to see and tiptoe around.
